How to Repair a dead Car Amplifier in less than 30 minutes.
This video will show you how to diagnose and where to check if you have power problems with your car amplifier.
It will also help you diagnose the problem if your car amp goes into protection mode.
The introductory Part Of the Video shows how i already opened the car amplifier and all screws were already loose.
I went further explain the various sections of the main board of the car amplifier which comprises of mainly the:-
1. The input or power circuit
2. The intermediate circuit or channels
3. the pre-amps circuit
4. The output circuit.
If you want a detailed explanation and more related content such as this then leave a comment bellow and we will get back to you as sooon as possible.

A MOSFET (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor) is a type of field-effect transistor that is widely used in electronic devices and circuits. It is a three-terminal device that can be used as a switch or an amplifier. The MOSFET has three layers: the source, the drain, and the gate. It operates by controlling the flow of current between the source and drain terminals using an electric field generated by the gate terminal. MOSFETs are commonly used in various applications, including power amplifiers, voltage regulators, and digital logic circuits.

Thank you for a thorough and clearly explained tutorial sir!! Just a couple quick questions, if that’s alright: 1. @ 4:02 , the MOSFET on the board measured 0.148 voltage drop; but doesn’t a good MOSFET require ~ 0.3 - 0.7 voltage drop? 2. In your PCB troubleshooting process, do you test each component 1 by 1 until you land on the faulty one?
@cedricdebossrepairsUpington
Жыл бұрын
Answer to question 1 is the voltage drop when it’s connected to the circuit can be confusing at times that is why to get the correct voltage drop you need to disconnect the power mosfet from the circuit first. Question 2 answer is I always troubleshoot using the reverse engineering method.

@cedricdebossrepairsUpington

Reverse engineering works like this if you have a missing 12volts on the output you start from the output section and trace back all the connections which are connected to the 12volts power rail inorder to restore the missing 12v

@@cedricdebossrepairsUpington does that mean you check for continuity between each 2 consecutive components on each trace? Or just check each individual component to ensure it’s within spec? (this is my last question, I promise 🙂)
@cedricdebossrepairsUpington
Жыл бұрын
Continuity will help you identify the components on the rail and you can individually isolate the potential faulty components by removing them and checking them out of the circuit. If there is a short and you remove a component and the short is gone then automatically that component removed is faulty. You can contact me on my Facebook page for more detailed info if needed.

So the generic mosfet is 55v? I have the IRFZ44v is that generic? Do I need to replace with the same or can a generic mosfet work? Thank you

You must check the model number on the MOSFET and replace that mosfet. If a mosfet starts getting physically hot then it means it getting more current than it can handle or was meant to handle. The quickest fix is identify the heated mosfet and change it.

the smaller Mosfets which are the power Mosfets shows you that it is the input side and the bigger transistors are always found in the output section.
